To aZZ whom t may camera:

Be it known that I, EVERT O. HILL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Russellville, in the county of Pope and State of Arkansas,have invented a new and useful Water Heater, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention aims to provide novel means whereby water may be heatedfrom an ordinary stove, and particularly from the burner of an oil orgas stove, the heater being so constructed that it may be swung to anout of the way position when not in use, it being possible to draw thewater at a point closely adjacent to the stove, or to use the water at apoint remote from the stove.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and toenhance the utility of devices of that sort to which the inventionappertains.

In the drawings z-Figure 1 shows in front elevation, a' deviceconstructed in accordance with the invention; Figure 2 is a top plan;Figure 3 is a rear elevation wherein parts are broken away; Figure 4 isa longitu'dinal section of the heater; and Figure 5 is a cross sectionof the heater.

The numeral 1 designates a stove, preferably but not neoessarily an oilor gas stove. So far as material to the present invention, the stoveembodies a Vertical back 2 and a horizontal burner 3.

The numeral 4 designates an ordinary tank. The tank 4 may have a coldwater inlet 6 adjacent to its bottom, a hot water Outlet 7 at its topand a pipe 8 extending laterally and downwardly from the top of thetank, the lower portion of the tank being provided with a laterallyextended pipe 9. The pipes 8 and 9 may be secured at 5 to the stove back2. A curved pipe 10 is connected by a hinge joint 11 with the lower endof the pipe 8, a similarly curved pipe 12 being connected by a hingedjoint 14 with the pipe 9, the construction being such that the pipes 10and 12 may be swung horizontally. At its forward end, the pipe 10carries a faucet 15.

The device comprises a heater 16, which may be of any desiredconstruction. Figure 4 shows that the heater 16 may embody a hollowconical top 17, a hollow cup-shaped base 18, 'and a plurality of pipecoils 19 communicating with the top 17 and the base 18, the coilsentering the bottom portion of the top 17 and the inner wall of thecup-shaped base 18. There may be any desired number of the pipe coils19. The upper portion of the hollow top 17 is connected by a T 21 vwiththe pipe 10 to the rear of the faucet 15, the pipe 12 being connected tothe hollow base 18, as shown at 22. The member 18 has a flange 23provided with` an upstanding rim 24 journaled on the flauige 23 withinthe rim 24, the sleeve being provided with a handle 26 and beingprovided at its upper end with a hood overhanging the top 17 andprovided with openings 51. The sleeve 25 has a slot 52 through which theconnection 22 passes.

By means of the handle 26, the heater 16 may be swung to a positionabove the burner 8, the hinged joint 11 between the pipes 8 and 10, andthe hinged joint 14 between the pipes 9 and 12 permitting such anopera.- tion, and when the occasion for the use of the device haspassed, the heater 16 may be swung backward away from the stove 1 andinto an out of the way position. Because the sleeve 25 can turn on theheater, the handle 26 is always disposed conveniently to the operatorwhilst the' heater is being swung toward the burner 3 or away from theburner. The sleeve 25 serves to retain the heat about the pipe coils 19.

The water passes from the tank 4 through the pipes 9 and 12 intothe base18, through the coils 19, through the top 17, and back to the tank 4 bythe pipes 10 and 8, the water being heated as it moves through themember 16. The hot water may be drawn of at a point adjacent to thestove 1, through the faucet 15; or, by way of the pipe 7, the hot waterwhich is returned to the tank 4 may be conducted away to a remote pointof use.

I claimz-- The combination with a stove having a combustion means, of aheater located 'at all times externally of the stove, water pipescommunicating with and carrying the heater, means for mounting the pipesfor horizon' tal swinging movement to dispose the heater externally ofthe stove and above the combnstion means or remote from the combustionmeans at the will of an operator, a
